Madonna

Forgive me if this question is really stupid, but can physical media like vinyl support Dolby Atmos? I'm just wondering whether the physical deluxe editions (which I hope are still forthcoming) will sound as crisp as the Immaculate Collection Atmos versions.

With her rereleases I'm guessing they'll skip soundtracks, so I wonder how we'll get spruced up versions of the Who's That Girl tracks, not to mention the great Causing a Commotion remixes. They seem destined to be lost forever in time.


They got Gambler on streaming, but something like Who’s That Girl with the other half being other artists might make things more difficult.
 
I kind of get why they did it the way they did but it would have made so much more sense to have all the Madonna songs on side one of the vinyl of 'Who's that girl'. I guess barely anyone would have flipped to side two but, well, everyone bought the album for her stuff.
 
Surely an EP with just her songs and/or a few remixes is possible? Or tack that onto the end of the True Blue reissue as an additional disc.

Well actually the press release said soundtracks were part of the reissue project. I think the best thing should be a collection of all her soundtracks songs with maybe the unreleased from Vision Quest etc.

Crazy For You
Gambler
Warning Signs (unreleased)
Into The Groove
Desperately Seeking Susan (Unreleased)
Live To Tell
Who’s That Girl
Causing A Commotion
The Look Of Love
Can’t Stop
Dick Tracy (written by Leonard. Who knows if it was recorded though).
This Used To Be My Playground
I’ll Remember
You Must Love Me
Beautiful Stranger
American Pie
Time Stood Still
Die Another Day
Masterpiece

+Remixes and alternate versions like the full version of Beautiful Stranger.

That may have mainly referred to the full Madge ones like I'm Breathless and Evita though?

Maybe but it’s a possibility (the WTG Ep was released after all)

All in all, the new pact includes 17 studio albums plus singles, soundtrack recordings, live albums, and compilations.

It's nice that somebody at Warner UK was thinking of the fans who'd miss these singles back then by shoving them out backing the "Holiday" re-release, but it would have been nicer if a digital edition of The Immaculate Collection was expanded to finally include them. Were these Q-Sound mixes on the EP too, or just the originals?
Yes, an digital EP of this would be most welcome, especially to have Causing A Commotion remastered.

Love this idea. D
 
To me The Holiday Collection On streaming is a pointless release, we will eventually get the Who’s That Girl EP with the remixes and the other tracks are already available.
 
It makes sense to bundle the Who’s That Girl songs on to the deluxe edition of True Blue since production wise it’s very similar, Spotlight too.
It really would be great to get Dolby Atmos mixes of all her albums on Blu Ray like the SuperDeluxeEdition releases.
This would well and truly be a Madonna dream come true.
 
I really don’t see Blu-ray being used as a format for music at all, it’s way too niche. Also Apple likely has some sort of exclusive on Atmos mixes and they never fuck with physical formats.

I mean, Madonna’s catalog was remastered for 5.1 audio 20 years ago and the project was shelved. Apple couldn’t stop her from releasing those if she had them updated.

Blu ray already is a format used for music, particularly these Dolby Atmos releases, Everything But the Girl, Tears for Fears and Shakespears Sister are a few recent examples of albums released on Blu Ray featuring Dolby Atmos mixes.

Atmos is not exclusive to Apple at all. The recent Dolby Atmos remaster of Shakespears Sister was made available on streaming services as well as on Bluray (alongside a discrete 5.1 downmix and a stereo downmix).

If Madonna's team sees the point in repressing Finally Enough Love in colorful vynil, I hope they also see the point in these sort of definitive releases for collectors.
